Discussion about this Video: http://www.ericthecarguy.com/component/kunena/18-The-EricTheCarGuy-Video-Forum/34741-Pulling-Honda-Codes-Without-a-Scanner?Itemid=0#34741
I feel like I should have made this video a while ago but the opportunity never came up. Since I had this RL in my shop that had a check engine light AND an ABS light I thought it was a perfect opportunity to put this video together. I get asked all the time about my 'special tool' and it's really nothing more than a Honda 2 pin connector with the input wires soldered together. These connectors might be harder to find than you think but if you run across a junk honda and one of these is on the harness grab it. Even if you don't have the tool a paper clip or piece of wire will do the exact same thing so don't sweat it if you don't have the tool because shorting the connector is all you need to do.
I hope you find this video helpful.

I get a lot of questions via email and over at the forum about the steps to
take when you encounter a performance issue like my Subaru's hesitation
issue and I often feel like I sound like a broken record when I cover the
basic steps that I cover when encountering a situation like that. My main
point here is that if you have a performance problem and you're going to
throw parts at the problem start with the basics before you to off and
start replacing sensors that you suspect are a problem, if you don't have
evidence of a faulty sensor then don't start there start with the simple
tune up items and check for vacuum leaks and air leaks as I've shown here
and I believe you'll have better results and save yourself some money in
the process. In short the rule of KISS applies, Keep It Simple Stupid.
If you have questions about your own engine performance issues head over to
my website and either ask the search function or ask the forum, we'd be
happy to help.

Electrical Troubleshooting Basics - EricTheCarGuy
Electrical Troubleshooting Basics - EricTheCarGuy
I get a lot of questions regarding electrical issues so when this 1994 Geo
came in I thought it might be a perfect opportunity to show some of the
basic steps that I follow when confronted with an electrical problem. Keep
in mind that electrical problems come in all shapes and sizes so there
really is no 'magic bullet' here but if you follow a basic procedure like
the one shown in this video it might help you find and repair the problem.
Here is a video that I did some time ago on soldering wires.

Quick Tip-Throttle Cleaning - EricTheCarGuy
This one goes out to BowlingBallOut who posted a question about a sticky
throttle on his Saturn. It was a great question so I decided to make this
video in response to it. There are many different configurations of
throttle assemblies but for the most part if you have a throttle that is
sticking you might be able to fix it using the procedures in this video. I
am aware you may not able to purchase spray throttle cleaner in some states
now but I'm sure they have some alternative available at your local parts
store.
One very important note here is that if you have a drive by wire throttle
(DBW), then I do NOT recommend this procedure. If you perform this
procedure on a DBW throttle body you may need to have the throttle reset in
order to get your engine to idle or even start. I only recommend this
procedure if you're trying to correct a problem with a sticking throttle.
If you have idle problems, I recommend you check out this article on my
website.

Transmission Solenoid Testing (Ohms Law) - Transmission Repair
Transmission Solenoid Testing. Here I use Ohms Law for testing. I believe
that this is the only way to test your solenoids on or off the vehicle.
Remember that the solenoids fail under LOAD! So just Ohm testing on its own
is not really accurate. Other tests can be done, but if you just own a
VoltOhmeter, that should be all you would need to perform your testing.
Voltage drop testing is also accurate but you also need to put your
component under load.
Ohms Law, Learn it, make it your own.
Voltage Divided by Ohms equals Amps...

INFORMATIONAL purposes ONLY. This fix is for off-road use. The content

I enjoy the process of testing theory because you always learn something
new, regardless of the outcome.
Using a spark plug defouler kit, I install a "buffer" in between the
downstream oxygen sensor and the catalytic converter. Quite often,
frustrated car owners get the P0420 code for reasons other than a bad cat.
I have heard of people getting the code just because they removed the
converter and reinstalled it. It can also happen if you run your vehicle
out of gas etc... etc...
It is also common for car owners to get the P0420 code, replace the
converter, and both o2 sensors-- only to have the code come back after 1000
miles or so. This can be a very frustrating, time consuming and of
course-- expensive venture. Here is one way to resolve the issue. Good
luck and have fun!

Why Not To Buy A Mercedes
Scotty Kilmer, mechanic for the last 47 years, shows why it may not be a
smart idea to purchase a mercedes,especially a used one. The high cost of
repair combined with insane over engineering often tends to empty your
pockets of cash faster than you
can fill them back up. And, If you like my car help, be sure to watch my
